Homemade Christmas Card Display - Instructions

It's practical, easy to make, nice to look at and recyclable once it's out of use.

I believe there is nothing like homemade Christmas gift ideas to
show your loved ones how much you love them - so much that you took the
time and effort to prepare their gift yourself.

On the other hand, not all of us are arts and crafts wizards, but
we don't want it to show. If you feel the same way, this homemade
Christmas card display is your perfect choice. It took me and my 5 years
old 10 minutes to put it together (including the
debate on which color ribbons to use), and everyone who walked in the
house was totally impressed by it.

Christmas Card Display Ingredients:

A few dry branches - just look around in the park,
yard or anywhere with trees and shrubs. We used a dry olive tree branch
we found in our backyard.

A small planting pot / vase
or any other container (it can be something the recipient could use later for its original purpose).

Stones / pebbles / marbles/ anything to stabilize branches and container. We used Macadamia nuts from our tree, which are an edible addition to our gift.

Ribbons / yarn in different colors.

Mini wooden pegs (clothespins) - to be used as Christmas card holders.

Instructions:

Place stones/ pebbles/ marbles in container to weigh it down.

Stick branches in the container.

Cut a ribbon twice the length that you want it to drop from the branch.

Tie each ribbon's edges to form a loop around a selected branch.

Clip a mini peg onto each ribbon loop you tie. Christmas cards can then be hung from the loops using the pegs.
